Gutenberg College

Gutenberg College is a small liberal‑arts college that hosts a yearly commencement ceremony for its graduates. The 2024 and 2023 commencement announcements confirm the college convenes an evening ceremony (e.g. June 14, 2024 at Central Lutheran Church) followed by a reception.

According to the publicly available student handbook, while Gutenberg College outlines student responsibilities and community standards, it does not provide a publicly accessible, detailed academic‑regalia policy (e.g. gown style, tassel color, honor cord or stole colors) in its handbook.

In practice, graduation attire is supplied: the 2009 commencement remarks mention “all the caps and all the gowns,” implying the college provides cap & gown sets to graduating students. However, there is no publicly posted system on the Gutenberg website indicating that there is a standard color‑coded scheme for tassels, honor cords, or stoles by academic discipline, degree level, or honors status. I found no color chart, hood‑color guide, or consistent mention of honor‑cord/stole color options in the college’s public documentation.

Because of this lack of formal documentation, it appears that Gutenberg does not enforce a fixed color standard for cords or stoles tied to honors, degree, or discipline. Instead, commencement likely emphasizes a uniform “cap and gown” for all, with any variation (if allowed) being informal or decided on ad‑hoc basis.

Faculty regalia — i.e. traditional academic gowns, hoods, or caps for faculty and staff participating in commencement — is not explicitly described in public materials either. Since Gutenberg is very small (≈ 20 students historically) , formal faculty regalia may be minimal or informal, and no public “faculty hood color chart” exists.

In short: Gutenberg College offers a standard cap & gown for commencement, but does not publicly support or document a formal system of honor‑cords, stoles, or tassels with predefined colors by degree, honors, or discipline. Any vendor or listing should describe the product as a “standard academic cap and gown set” and note that color/cord conventions are not defined by the college, leaving custom cord/stole options flexible and subject to buyer discretion.

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Gutenberg College, you can reach out directly to the college's administration or the office responsible for commencement and student services. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding academic regalia.
